San Bernardino Public Library Hosts a Writing Workshop for Kids and Teens

In preparation for November’s National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), the San Bernardino Public Library will be hosting free writing workshops for kids and teens, ages 7-17. The workshops began Monday, Oct. 6. These free workshop/writing sessions will be at the Feldheym Central Library in Kellogg Room A from 4-5:30 p.m. every Monday through Nov. 24. National Novel Writing Month’s Young Writers Program is a non-profit literary crusade that encourages aspiring young writers all over the world to write a novel in a month. On Nov. 1, more than 25,000 kids and teens worldwide will begin a furious adventure in fiction. By Dec. 1, thousands of them will be novelists. NaNoWriMo is the largest writing event in the world. It's a fun, seat-of-your-pants writing event where the challenge is to complete an entire novel in just 30 days. The word-count goal for the adult NaNoWriMo program is 50,000 words, but the Young Writers Program (YWP) allows 17-and-under participants to set reasonable, yet challenging, individual word-count goals.
